2025 Sony Open Set to Begin in Honolulu with Hideki Matsuyama as Favorite

The PGA Tour continues this week at Waialae Country Club, with top golfers vying for victory on a course known for rewarding accuracy and strong putting.

The 2025 Sony Open tees off Thursday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, featuring a 144-player field including 10 of the top-30 ranked golfers in the world.
Hideki Matsuyama, fresh off a record-setting win at The Sentry Tournament, is the betting favorite and a past Sony Open champion (2022).
The tournament will not include defending champion Grayson Murray, who passed away in May 2024; his family has established a foundation for mental health and addiction awareness in his honor.
Waialae Country Club, a par-70 course, emphasizes precision over distance, with past winners typically excelling in putting and ball-striking.
Fans can watch the event live on ESPN+ and NBC, with coverage running Thursday through Sunday.
